Maquet Getinge ECC Tubing Sets Recalled for Sterility Assurance Concerns

Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling specific Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation because a design feature may prevent sterilization gas from reaching all fluid paths.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a medical device where the Sterility Assurance Level cannot be assured, creating a risk of infection or harm, but the source text does not report any specific illnesses or injuries, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation (ECC) with the product name Maquet Getinge-BEQ-TOP 37500 ECC QUADROX ID. The recall affects batch numbers 3000048238, 3000061109, and 3000069075, which were distributed nationwide.

The recall was initiated because the closed stopcock and non-vented cap configuration may prevent the flow of humidity and ethylene oxide gas into the fluid path between the closed port and the cap. This design issue means the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured during the sterilization process.

Healthcare facilities and users of these devices should stop using the affected tubing sets and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for further instructions on replacement or return.
